An interesting read for those that love psychology or philosophy
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 7 years ago
Are humans born naturally good or naturally evil? This question has been asked throughout time and Paul Bloom and his team of psychologists study infants to see if they recognize "good" or "evil" actions. Bloom discusses what is seen as good or evil throughout different cultures, how people could be cruel, and if even the newest of minds can comprehend such complex ideas. The book is a great read for those interesting in psychology or philosophy or if you have ever wondered what a baby could be thinking of.
